PUSHING OUT MR.. CATE,
Hot and Tart Interview Between Him
and Comptroller Trenholm.

and Comptroller Trenholm.
Something Of q breeze was stirred up In
the Office OF the comptroller Of the currency
not long since, when Mr.. Trenholm called
upon Mr.. F. G. Cate, bis principal clerk, to
begin the work of preparing the comptrol-
ler's annual report. Mr.. Cate is Republi-
can and never has seen the occasion when
he deemed 1t necessary to disguise his
politics. He has organized and reorganized
many Of the national banks Of the country,
having had over twenty years experience
In the office OF the comptroller.
Since the advent of the present adminis-
tration MIR. Cate's position has been made
almost untenable at times by the new peo-
Of affairs has at last eliminated in re-
quest for bis resignation. He as promptly
declined to accede to the demand, and with
equal assurance requested them to dis
charge him.
Last year he formulated the report OF the
comptroller unassisted, and when he had It
ready, with the exception Of verifying his
pose, 1t was refused, and the report was
printed without the revision being made.
Notwithstanding last years experience
and feeling Mr.. Cate entertained that his
head might be Topped of at short notice,
the comptroller called upon him to prepars
his report for this year. Mr.. Gate replied
that he would perform the work provided
he was given an assistant, and further that
he should be retained In the service until
next March, as he had made arrangements
to quit the government employ at that
time. This proposition was denied and he
was requested to send in his resignation
This he declined to do.
After consulting with the Secretary Mr..
Trenholm has informed Mr.. Cate that his
services will not be required after the 3lst
instant. On learning Of the decision Of the
comptroller Mr.. Cate is said to have had
come sharp, words with that official, and
stated that he believed he had more In
fuential friends, both with the Democrats
and Republicans in and out Of Office, than
Mr.. Trenholm himself. This declaration
stirred up the bile and made the atmos.
phere rather torrid in the neighborhood OF
the comptrolle's office, and both gen.
tlemen were somewhat belligerent in their
feelings and actions for few minutes, but
up to the present time nothing more serious
has occurred.

subduing u Dangerous Animal.

Hundreds of people were turned away
last night at the E-street Rink, where
Prof. o. r. Gleason, the king Of horse
tanners, gives his nightly exhibition, and is
meeting with immense success. The great
event OF last night was the handling OF the
man. eating stallion "Barehony," which has
killed eight men, and is owned by Thomas
Nelson, who shipped him here from Boyce
station, Va. The stallion was imported
from Scotland, and has all the worst habits
Imaginable. 1t was the greatest night in
the professional history OF Prof. Gleason,
for this was the worst brute he has ever
banded. The audience was select. The
brute fought vigorously, but Prof. Gleason
conquered him notwithstanding.

How DyiingChild
Was Saved /!

CICERO, HAMILTON Co., ND, Sept, 10, 1885,
The following Is q truo account of what your
s. s. s. has done for our little daughter, Hazel,
now four years old when II months old
lump appeared on hor heel which slowly grew
larger. The family physician thought II was
caused by piece Of broken glass or needle.
but failed TO bring anything to light. Tho
child became feebler all the time, seeming to
lose the use OF her log, and finally quit walk
ing entirely. The middle finger and thumb
OF eithorhand became enlarged, the flesh be.
coming hard. Tho hip Joints became involv-
cd, so that when seventeen months old she
could not stand, having lost the use of leg
nndarm. Partial curvature of the spine also
followed. The nervous system was wrecked,
muscles contracted, and there was general
wasting OF flesh and muscle. At eighteen
months OF age she was placed under tho
treatment OF o prominent physician OF Dos.
ton, Mass, but at the end of ten months she
had declined to such degree that she was In
dying condition This was In April 1896
We took the child away not knowing what
to do. In this dreadful dilemma we were
over.persuaded by friends to try lone bot
tie" OF SwIFrs SPECIFIC. which we did, and
before 1t had oil been taken we saw change
Tor the better In her symptoms. We kept
up, and have done SO to this day, and viii
keep II up, II the Lord wills, for many days
to come, for 1t hos brought our dying Hazel
to life, to vlgor, to strength and health again.
The ashen hue OF her cheeks has changed to
arosy tint. She Is able to walk anywhere.
her languor and melancholy have passed
away, md she is now q blithe, cheerful, hap
py romping child. Should you wish TO in
crease your testimonials OF proof OF the
virtue of s. 8. s., our names and what we
have said Is but q portion Of what we TO

Major POOre's Illness.

HE HAS IMPROVED SOMEWHAT TO-DAY-A CONSCLTA-
TION OF PHYSICIANS THIS MORNING.
Major Ben: Perley Poore, whose sudden attack OF
illness was mentioned in the STAR yesterday, was
somewhat better this morning. Drs. Baxter and
Harrison held consultation aC the Ebbitt House
this morning. Afterward Dr. Baxter told STAR
reporter that Major Poore was very weak, but that
his condition had improved since yesterday, and
that II the improvement continued as il had begun
he would soon be on the street again. He could
not venture prediction, however, that this would
be the case. The patient may at any time grow
worse again. His condition is quite critical. With
man OF his age and physical condition an attack
OF this sort is very dangerous.
Major POore has been suffering from Bright's
disease for the past two years. Dr. Baxter has
been attending bin constantly, and by great
watchfulneSS the disease has been kept from ad-
